    Whenever I think of Eartha Kitt, I remember her interview with Terry Wogan, she was playful, seductive, and emotionally raw. You could see her facade fading and wounds exposed. When she said, " A man has always wanted to lay me down, but he never wanted to pick me up. And the men that did have real love and affection for me, were the ones that never touched me." brought me to tears, cause I could relate.

    Kitt's comments in response to Mrs. Johnson were brave and what certain people needed to hear. It was NOT that long ago, within my lifetime, when being a woman, being black, oiyee. This was before women could even have a credit card in their own name. Again within my lifetime. Younger people today I honestly don't think understand how recent that all was.

    I remember being 8 yrs old and looking at a cover with Eartha Kitt on Jet magazine. It is now 68 yrs later, and I

I love how she never backed down on what she believed in, spoke her mind intelligently, and always was FEMININE in everything she did, a DIVA extraordinaire. The epitome of glamour & raw feminine sexuality dahling!! Karine, you missed one MAJOR film: Boomerang with Eddie Murphy & Robin Givens with Ms. Kitt as Lady Eloise. Marcus Dahlingggg. Because of her I have been drinking beet juice lol. C'est si bon, bien sur. Rest in Power Ms. Kitt.

    My dad told me that when she came out with "Santa Baby," it was a HUGE controversy (especially at Christmas!) because a black woman _dared_ to be sexy and seductive...with Santa, of all people! Many DJs would not play that song on the radio, until years later! I always loved the way she could trill or "purr" in her throat on Batman...I always tried to do that, but just don't have the gift, LOL.

    I like her in the movie "Boomerang" she use to always say Marcus darling but it sound like she was singing it whenever she would see Eddie Murphy and say his name.

    Thank you for this! I came to know about Eartha when I moved to US and saw one of her interviews. She immediately caught my attention how elegant, beautiful and her intellectually. She is one of a kind! 🌹

    I have been watching videos on Eartha Kitt and I’m in love with her! She died six months after my mother died! Her daughter is very lucky to have such a love in her life!

    I always LOVED Eartha, though I feel like I didn't know that much about her. Her Santa Baby, is IT! Her character in the Emperor's New Groove was the BEST part.
    Looking forward to your take on Orson😏😉 Thank you for this!❤

    You forgot her iconic cameo in Boomerang - "Marrrrrrcussss!......." 😂😂 I'm actually more familiar with her as an actress than as a singer, now I'm curious to look up her music - thanks for sharing this! Also I would be interested in an Orson Welles bio. 😊👍

    Karine my momma is 83 and such a fan of hers. Your video prompted me to order a lovely original quote ornament from Eartha’s merch line. Eartha’s gorgeous daughter hand wrote a note and my mom was touched. Thank you lovely! ❤

    Your segments are inspired!!! I too LOVE Eartha Kitt and Lena Horne. You did a wonderful job. Your admiration for Your "subjects" is refreshing. And I adore watching Your segments. Your homage of so many of Our icons is essential. It's vitally important that Our youth recognize, that there would be NO Cardi, Nikki or Beyonce without, Eartha, Joséphine or Lena.

    Always liked and loved her. She passed many years ago, ***I would like to think that her soul/spirit Rested in Peace and later Rose in Power***
